(Casey's POV)

"You get it now, don't you?" Ramon said after a while.
I could see now why Joan had reached out to me and told me about the break-in at the hall and why she also showed me all the evidence. It was just a modus operandi for her. By pretending to work with us, it would never cross our minds that she was working with Maven.
It would have been a perfect plan, but with Ramon, things were different. Something didn't add up.
"Why then did she fire you?" I asked.
"Because for the first time, I decided to do it on my own. I didn't tell her about the guy, or the money. I simply acted on my own. And she didn't like that."
"Okay, if you were to tell her, how would it work?"
"Usually, when we're approached by the reporters, we refer them to Joan and she discusses with them. She makes them pay a huge amount of money for their job. Anyone who tries to do this without her knowledge would get serious docks in their pay."
"But that didn't stop you," Ethan said.
